Alpine pastures
[edit]- Le Moan is a former alpine pasture located in the commune of Vailly, with an elevation of 1,050 m. It has been in disuse and wooded since the 1980s; its hillsides were used by the Maquis resistance fighters in World War II. A path leads from Le Moan to Sur les Monts.
- Le Plaine is another former pasture in Vailly, also used by the maquis. Disused and covered in woodland, it hosts a mill. It is accessible up to le Lavouet by taking the Sous la Joux road from the centre of the hamlet up to Granges Vulliez, passing on the left through the forest, then take the trail to le Plaine.
